Part III: The Departure of the Fellowship
~Estella~
Few days after I found the dead girl in the woods, I knew what had killed her. It were the sword of Nazgul. I didn't know why the Nazgul stabbed her, but I knew who exactly they were after.
Frodo Baggins, the Ringbearer came to Rivendell by Glorfindel's horse. He was stabbed by the Nazgul and started to pass away when he arrived. Lord Elrond and I worked night and day without asleep until we were sure he would survived. The spell was strong, & we both fear the wound wouldn't heal completely. But that wasn't the bad news.
He brought a Ring..and so on and so on. ( you guys know the story. Hate to summarize it.)
Legolas was the only Elf chosen to accompany Frodo on his way to Mordor. Lord Elrond told me that he offered himself. And I wasn't very happy about it.
But nothing I can do.
"Why did you offer yourself?" I asked him one day when we went horse riding again. We didn't go far. The encounter with the Orcs few days before warned us about the darkness in Middle Earth that seemed to grow stronger and stronger.
"Nothing important. I guess it will be an interesting adventure to me."
"Your reason isn't strong enough for me. It's a very dangerous journey and I know you better to tell that you don't give much care about the Ring or the Hobbit or Middle Earth."
"Well, come on. I am not that bad." He grinned. "But.. oh.. well.. I guess you know me better than I do. You are right. I don't care. I only thought it would be fun. Killing many Orcs."
"Its not a game. Go if you want to, but you MUST come back safely, Legolas." I looked deeply into his beautiful blue eyes.
" Is that matter? " He chuckled. He didn't seem a bit worry about the journey. I didn't think he valued his life enough. He simply indifferent about himself. It is as if he didn't even love himself.
I was pretty upset by now. " Yes it is. It matters to me. I knew very well how you felt about your own self. You simply think no one cares for you so you don't care for yourself either. Well, that's wrong. You are a precious friend to me. I care for you. I care for you, Legolas, you are my best friend and I don't want to loose you. " I snapped at him angrily. Then I rode Eryn away in hurry. I was furious, and worry. Afraid that I would loose another friend again.
~Legolas~
I was shocked to hear what Estella told me. Since my mother died, I didn't know anyone who trully loved me because of me. I didn't even have trusted friend. But here go this girl, who trully cared for my well being sincerely, who got angry at my ignorance for my own well being.
I didn't get much chance to talk to her anymore. The Orcs had increased in number rapidly. They attacked very often everywhere, causing much trouble and battle. Estella and Lord Elrond were very busy treating the injurreds. Not having anything else to do, I accompanied her, assisting her and Elrond in everyway I could.
The more I knew her, the more I liked her. She was a very good healer, being second in charge after Lord Elrond in Rivendell's Healing Rooms. Her compassion and gentleness with patients touched my heart deeply, especially when I saw her treating non-Elves as loving as she treated her fellow Elves.
Sometimes Estella and I would have to go looking for the injured in battlefield. I admired her courage and fighting skill very much, reminding me of the stories I hear about young Galadriel. Estella was one of few Elves I knew who could use sword skillfully*.
It was in the battlefield when I first thought that I might be in love with her.
But I must go. I have chosen to go with the rest of the Fellowship.
I promised her I would came back, that I would regard my safety better than I used to do. Then I departed from Rivendell.
That's it for chapter 3. I hate making long chapter. But this story will be long. So, be patient. No long update, I promise you. I cant help by writing! I am still excited about this story. Keep reviewing pls. I don't know much about Tolkiens world, so I need your feedback. Plus.. I don't really pay much attention on my language. So, if its bad, tell me.
*someone mentioned in review that Elves don't use sword. Well, I guess that will make Estella exceptional. (. I wasn't sure if Celebrian died or sailed away. Some ppl said she died, some said she sailed to Grey Havens. I have to pick, so I killed her. Lol.
